<title><![CDATA[SNES Mod]]></title>
<pubdate>Sun, 16 Dec 2007 06:12:00 CST</pubdate>
<description><![CDATA[Growing up in the 90's, the Super Nintendo holds a special place in my memory as far as gaming consoles go.  From the hours wasted trying to get every Yoshi Coin and exit in Super Mario World to the amazement of the "advanced graphics" of Starfox, to the fun I had playing Mario Kart.  Many fun times were had.  That is why I was so interested when I saw this mod.  Check the link for more pictures.<br />

<title><![CDATA[So Much For The PS3 Price Cut]]></title>
<pubdate>Fri, 13 Jul 2007 11:07:00 CDT</pubdate>
<description><![CDATA[SCEE president David Reeves says that the $100 price cut on the PS3 only applies to the 60GB model and, after existing stock is sold, it will no longer be offered (in the U.S.). The only PS3 left in retail after that is the $599 80GB bundle.<br />
<br />
"All they're doing is taking their stock in trade that they've got at the moment of the 60GB model, marking the price down and it will all be gone by the end of July." When asked to clarify if this will mean the end of the 60GB model, Reeves answered, "In America, yes."<br />
<br />
*As noted in our comment section, Sony now says the 60GB PS3 will continue to sell into the &#147;foreseeable future.&#148; Like last week's price cut denials two days before the actual price cut announcement, it is impossible to know whether or not this price point will be permanent or they are simply selling the remaining stock at $499 until they are all gone.<br />

<title><![CDATA[Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty]]></title>
<pubdate>Thu, 05 Jul 2007 16:07:00 CDT</pubdate>
<description><![CDATA[Responding to criticism over increased hardware failure rates, Microsoft says they are now extending the warranty of the Xbox 360 to three years. Microsoft recently added better GPU cooling to the newer 360s to help with overheating problems. The new three year warranty should make even the harshest of critics happy. <br />
<br />
"We don't think we've been getting the job done," said Robbie Bach, president of the division. "In the past few months, we have been having to make Xbox 360 console repairs at a rate too high for our liking." <br />
